Blue Apricots Social’s designers create dynamic and engaging userinterfaces that instantly draw customer attention.Social Media Content Aggregation and FilteringDuring a sporting or other live event, Twitter and other social networking sitesoffer an incredibly unique “stream of consciousness” style of commentary. Theselive observations from around the world provide a kind of “colour commentary”during a game or event. Unfortunately, sometimes these messages could easilybe found rude, offensive, or obscene to patrons in a bar or restaurant watchingthe event.Blue Apricots partners, Insteo, supply Social Display’s proprietary filteringtechnology which goes far beyond removing the ‘seven dirty words’. It looks forphonetic matches, deliberate misspellings, “txt” and hacker abbreviations,foreign languages, and any poorly written content and compares the messageagainst a massive database. Insteo’s Social Display’s Message Quality™ Scoreranks each message not just for dirty words, but also for quality content thatmakes sense on a Digital Sign.The result is a User Generated Content stream that is both interesting andrelevant to the live event, while maintaining the standards of business. InsteoSocial Display also allows subscribers to add their own words to the filter. Forexample, a retail store might not want their competitor’s name to appear onscreen. Simply adding their name to the filter ensures messages praising (orpanning) their competitors will never appear in their location.
